The complex oeuvre of the American artist Cy Twombly (1928-2011)
comprises a time period of around six decades, during which it
never lost any of its expressive power. Twombly was one of the most
productive artists in the history of more recent art. Acclaimed as
one of the most important painters of the second half of the
twentieth century, he fused the legacy of American Abstract
Expressionism with European and Mediterranean culture. The book
focuses to a degree never before seen on his major cycles: Nine
Discourses on Commodus (1963), Fifty Days at Iliam (1978), and
Coronation of Sesostris (2000). The artist's development as a whole
is traced based on nearly 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings, and
photographs. This thus provides unique insights into the overall
intellectual and sensual richness of the oeuvre. From his early
works at the beginning of the nineteen-fifties, which are
characterized by the use of text, to his compositions of the
nineteen-sixties, his reaction to the minimal art and conceptual
art of the nineteen-seventies to his final paintings, the overview
of the oeuvre underscores the significance of the series and cycles
in which Cy Twombly invented history painting anew. With its
polyphonic conception, the monograph offers numerous approaches
with essays that shed light on the various aspects and phases of
Twombly's path as an artist. It comprises et al. the reflections
and personal impressions of other artists as well as the memories
of his assistant Nicola Del Roscio. These diverse testimonies make
it possible to discover Cy Twombly not only as an the artist, but
also as an individual.
